The Dictatorship of Russo-bydliya is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 271 million Russo-bydliyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bydlograd. The average income tax rate is 13.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Russo-bydliyan economy, worth 27.7 trillion palets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 102,160 palets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Colonial subjects have Russo-bydliyan culture shoved down their throats, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, and curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Russo-bydliya's national animal is the SLON, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Russo-bydliya is ranked 79,458^th in the world and 2^nd in Z H I R E G A N C for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,161.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
